A/N: Hey there my fellow SasuNaru fans! It hasn't been that long since I updated, but the space in between updates is probably going to be larger. Maybe not. I've decided its my own fault for starting this story before I've even got the climax written down. I'll let you guys know if I have to go back and change anything.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Plot is mine!

CHAPTER SIX

And So It Continues

"How are you being so calm about this?" Sasuke asked Naruto incredulously as they headed to physics.

Naruto shrugged. "Back home, a friend of mine pulls pranks on me all the time. I'm used to it."

"Doesn't it annoy you?"

"Yeah, kind of…I guess…but it hasn't been anything really serious yet right?"

"I guess," said Sasuke, shrugging.

Naruto and Sasuke sat through physics for the next hour and a half. Naruto appeared bored, while Sasuke was listening attentively. How Naruto could zone out and still get an 'A' was a mystery to Sasuke.

Finally the bell rang and Naruto told Sasuke to go ahead, because he wanted to ask the professor a question. Sasuke sighed. Naruto always had a question. Despite his better judgment, Sasuke stalked out of the room muttering that he'd see Naruto in gym.

Naruto watched Sasuke go and chuckled. Ever since the pranks had started, Sasuke had been nervous about leaving the blond alone. Naruto just shook his head and made his way up to the front of the classroom where the professor was hastily packing his things. Naruto opened his mouth to speak, but the professor cut him off.

"Naruto, I have a meeting, so I can't talk right now. Come and see me after school, okay?"

Naruto nodded somewhat dejectedly, and went to the back of the classroom to get his books. By then, the professor was long gone. Naruto turned the handle of the door, and discovered it was locked.

'That's weird,' thought Naruto. He tried the door again, but it wouldn't budge. Naruto racked his brain for ways to open the door, with to success. It certainly didn't help that most of his plans involved breaking the door, limiting his options to cheep television gimmicks:

"Argh! Damn paper clip! This always worked for MacGyver!" Growling in frustration, Naruto thrust the paper clip at the door only to have it bounce back and hit him in the forehead.

"Okay! That's it door! You have officially unleashed the might wrath of Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto held his physics book in his hands and held it above the door handle. "Fear the textbook!" he shouted. He then proceeded to bang his physics book onto the door handle in an attempt to break it.

Alas, it didn't work.

Suddenly, Naruto saw Howard, one of the school custodians, and banged on the door to grab his attention. Howard realized—after a series of elaborate and poorly thought out pantomimes—what was going on, and unlocked to door to let Naruto out.

"Thanks so much!" said Naruto, as he dashed off to P.E.

Naruto was now a full twenty minutes late to P.E. and Sasuke was getting worried. Suddenly, Naruto burst through the gym doors panting heavily as the other boys were running laps. Sasuke was the first to spot him.

"Naruto!" said Sasuke, stopping suddenly causing Shikamaru to fall on him, followed by Chouji. Thus, Sasuke was sufficiently squashed, and frankly, in a fair amount of pain.

"Uzumaki!" the gym teacher shouted. "You are twenty two minutes late for my class where in hell were you?"

"Well, you see…"

"It doesn't matter. We'll talk about it later. Go get changed."

When class was over, and all the boys were changing, the coach called Naruto into his office. Now, the coaches office was connected to the locker room though large metal door, so Naruto didn't have far to go. He had only his boxers on, so when the coach called his name, he called back that he'd be there in just a minute.

"NOW UZUMAKI!"

"Or maybe not," Naruto muttered under his breath. He entered the office and the coach gave him a lecture on greatness, potential, failure, and tardiness. He threw in a sports analogy every once in a while to prove his point. The worst part was he didn't seem to notice that Naruto was barely clothed.

'Idiot,' Naruto thought.

Once he was finished he dismissed Naruto, but just as he left the coaches office, the fire alarm rang. Now, when there's a fire the doors surrounding the fire lock so that people can get out, but not back in, and the sprinklers go off in rooms surrounding the area as well as above and below it. Just one of the random technological advances supplied to a wealthy school.

It just so happened, that the alarm was pulled in the locker room.

So now, Naruto couldn't get back in to get his clothes. He was in his boxers and he was wet.

'Good to know the sprinkler system works.'

The coach basically grabbed Naruto's wrist and all but dragged the blond boy out of the gym, saying that it wasn't a drill. All the while Naruto was yelling about how the coach was an idiot. The gym had doors leading to the outside, so in two minutes, Naruto's bare feet met grass.

"Uzumaki," the coach said suddenly, confusion evident in his voice, "why aren't you wearing clothes?"

Naruto turned his head slowly to look at the coach, and then began yelling himself hoarse. Now, since Naruto was rather loud, and every person in the school was now outside with nothing to do, they moved to see what the heck someone was screaming about.

Naruto finally stopped yelling—anger rolling off him in waves—so he could catch his breath. He starred at the coach with rage until something interrupted his thoughts. Someone had whistled.

"Huh?" Naruto said as he stood more erect and blinked rapidly. He turned to look, and found himself face to face with a crowd. His anger started to dwindle away into embarrassment.

'Oh crap.'

Sasuke was growing impatient. The school was obviously not on fire. It didn't take a genius to figure that out. He made his way around the side of the building where a crowd was gathering.

'What the…? Oh. My. God.'

There was Naruto, standing only in his (apparently wet) boxers, resembling a ripe tomato as the blood shot to his face (Sasuke's blood shot to somewhere else entirely). Other boys were cheering and whistling. Sasuke felt a wave of jealously pass through him as he desperately tried to catch Naruto's gaze while simultaneously not killing the boy next to him.

Naruto's embarrassment was replaced by anger once more when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of four or so guys giving each other high-fives. This was no accident.

Naruto spotted Sasuke standing at the back of the crowd and shot him a pointed look. Ignoring the shouts and comments, Naruto pushed through the throng toward Sasuke. He stopped in front of the dark-haired boy, and stood looking him in the eyes, attempting to silently convey his frustration—he was apparently too angry to form proper sentences.

Sasuke was half afraid he would faint or do something else stupid. Unfortunately, Naruto didn't seem to notice. Naruto finally opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by an inappropriate comment. Naruto growled in the general direction of the voice. Then, he grabbed Sasuke's wrist and began dragging him away from the crowd.

It was then that Sasuke learned to uselessness of mantras:

'Don't look at his ass. Don't look at his ass. Don't look at hi—oh wow. Damn it! Don't look!'

Once they were far enough from the crowd—they were in fact near a completely different wing of the building—Naruto releases Sasuke and turned to look at him, very serious; more serious than Sasuke had ever seen him before.

"Sasuke," Naruto said breathing in and out to relieve apparent frustration. "This was the last straw. I can take a few innocent pranks, but this means WAR!"

Sasuke nodded.

"So you agree with me?"

Sasuke nodded.

"So you'll help me?"

Sasuke nodded. "Wait!" he said shaking his head from its dazed and zoned out state. "What!?"

"Great!" said Naruto, excited; an evil-ish smirk making its way onto his whiskered face. "Come to my house later and we shall plot the greatest prank ever!" Naruto then laughed a very frightening and sinister laugh that made Sasuke wonder if he should place a call to his insurance agent before the school day ended.

However, instead of coming up with a rational response, Sasuke just blinked.

Then he blinked again.

Seriously though, what else was he to do?

'Well that was odd,' Sasuke thought as he watched Naruto stalk off to find clothes. 'Well, I guess I'm going to Naruto's.'

END CHAPTER SIX

A/N: Random, no? I know that its a highly improbably situation. If that bothers you, don't read the next chapter. Frankly, the rest of the story, in just gets weirder from here on in. I'm pretty sure I promised a High School fic that's different. I'd be insulting you if I did the normal cliches...

Same old about reviews. I love them and they keep me sane. (hey, its cheaper than therapy...). ALSO! Remember to check my profile for updates about where the story is in its writing phase. I'm doing my best to update it monthly...
